Auburn set to hire Boise State's Bryan Harsin as next head football coach, source says

Boise State's Bryan Harsin is set to become the next head football coach at Auburn, a source told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg, confirming a Yahoo Sports report.

He replaces Gus Malzahn, who was fired earlier this month after eight seasons with the Tigers.

Harsin is 69-19 in seven seasons at Boise State. He was a top target for Auburn from the start of its coaching search, according to a source.

More than 20 Power 5 schools have reached out to Harsin over the years, the source said.
